What does CTS Number of property in Mumbai mean??

You would have heard of the city survey number or CTS number if you owned a property in Mumbai or are preparing to purchase a land parcel in Mumbai. But what’s crucial about the city survey number and how is the CTS number provided in Mumbai? Is the registration of a house in Mumbai without the city survey number possible?

The officials have been prepared to keep records with the city survey number of property parcels that are very essential because the property parcels are of elevated asset worth.
